Power Rangers Heroes of the Grid Update: $158K Strong And First Stretch Goals Met!

In case you missed it, Renegade Game Studio’s Power Rangers: Heroes of the Grid board game went live on Kickstarter the other day and already met its original goal of $100,000 within the first eight hours! The Kickstarter is now on the second day of funding and as of this write up is now sitting at $158,398.

This means that the first batch of stretch goals have been unlocked and will be added to anyone who pledges to either the $150 tier or 250 all-in tier.

If you’ll be among those attending Power Morphicon this weekend, RenegadeStudios will be there demoing the game so be sure to check them out, and we’ll provide you more updates on this Kickstarter as they become available.

It looks more like one of Renegade's straight board games than one of their RPG-veined products. If it is, I wouldn't expect a custom character system. I guess the details will come out when the Kickstarter launches.

Use of "Grid" in the name and the fact that Beast Morphers is using the Morphing Grid as a defining theme gives a hint at the direction Hasbro is looking to explore!

Or is a carryover from the Saban era and the hype from Shattered Grid.
Though likely Hasbro will want to explore the Legacy.
Beast Morphers as a concept was a Saban era thing. Whatever Hasbro full plans to do, we won't see effects of until after it, or after the series after it, outside of toys. Assuming the next two series use archived footage and sentai series that have been made until now, any real original impact Hasbro would have on the show won't surface until whatever comes after Lupin X Pat from Toei, and depending on development cycles of when they started planning that series, maybe not until the one after it.

So likely the next one after Beast Morphers will be the Kyu footage using one(unless they use Toq or another skipped series). Then after those 4 years(beast morphers and that), we'll finally start seeing whatever Hasbro has planned and has been working with Toei & Bandai of Japan on.

This is why so much of the Saban teams came to hasbro to 'help in the transition'. As in, keep the current Saban era plans until Hasbro is fully situated to take over by working with Toei for original footage. Now that does mean the creative teams may have wider reach though and better company relations and budgets to get footage as well as will have different bosses now that'll sign off on ideas instead of sending whatever back to the drawing board. But don't expect massive sweeping changes fully yet. Go-Buster itself was built on a more grounded approach in general with teleporting weapons, and mechanic bays, so that does bode well overall.

I do expect a Kyu adaptation would have heavy Legacy nods though and likely have strong ties to the grid too. Too much referential footage for it to not.

It may not, but it wouldn't be hard to reverse engineer the properties of the characters to a baseline point to create one. So in theory if it doesn't have one, it could in a future expansion.

Personally, I think Kyuranger should be put on stand-by! I think that ToQger should occur BEFORE Lupinranger VS. Patranger and act as a lead-in! As much as I liked Zyuohger, I have doubts about that series working as a PR series in its entirety (based on the unfortunate Mecha designs primarily)! I have also recently asked about Kyoryuger/Dino Force Brave in another thread because I believe that it too could serve some use in PR, though I realize there are some economic reservations to that! Much of the issue will be based on the next Sentai, of course!

You are right that "Heroes Of The Grid" is following "Shattered Grid" and what follows! I missed that detail! However, all the references to the Grid will serve as a warm-up to whatever Beast Morphers offers!
